Rating a clear “F”. Avoid this place.

There was no hot water, no showers possible. The property refuses to issue a refund. Totally unacceptable and unethical.

Nice little hotel to stay in before flying out for our fishing trip. The staff was courteous, rooms were very basic but clean and updated, and the continental breakfast was very good with lots of delicious options. Compared to the other very high priced hotels near the airport, this nice little Inn was worth the savings for our short stay in Anchorage.

This property is convenient for an early flight out of ANC. The shuttle drivers were great. Bright lights outside the room was worse than the midnight sun. The front desk staff (Emily) seemed put out to check me in then later more put out to have to walk to the “gym” twice to figure out how to unlock the door - the gym is lacking a lot. I expected a nicer place for $300 a night.

24 hour shuttle to the airport, no frills

The front desk people were very nice. There is a 24 hour shuttle to the airport--which is the main reason we chose it. This is a very basic, no-frills hotel. Beds are comfortable, nice linens, rooms are big. Curtains were not adequate to fully cover the windows/block the sunlight. Bathroom was recently updated with fiberglass shower and glass shower doors, vinyl flooring, big mirror, lots of counter space, water pressure was low - very hard to rinse shampoo and conditioner out of my hair. Room carpeting was newer. Good size fridge. TV options are Tubi and Netflix for streaming. Hallways were a bit dark and carpet was older and stained. Breakfast was yogurt, boiled eggs, fruit and coffee. Location was ok - can walk to Lake Hood to watch the seaplanes, Subway, McDonalds, Wendys and local Italian, Teriyaki restaurants very close

My room was like a jail cell. one fixed window and small window to open. in very old section, door opened to outside hall. no ventilation. air conditioner was noisy. Room was clean, bed comfortable. They need to put actual pictures of the moderate rate rooms on line not the upgraded ones off the lobby which are much different and very nice.
